CRO PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKER ANNOUNCES DEBATE ON FOREIGN POLICY

( Editorial: --> 6659 ) ZAGREB, April 14 (Hina) - Croatia's Parliamentary Speaker Vlatko Pavletic on Tuesday held a press conference at which he spoke about the suggested 30-item agenda for the next House of Representatives' session which starts tomorrow and will run for two weeks. Pavletic announced a debate on the topic, "The Republic of Croatia and International Policy", as well as on a very important report on the implementation of the program of two-way return and accommodation of displaced persons and refugees in regard to requests by the international community. Pavletic stressed that Croatia cannot enable a faster return, not because it lacks will to do it but because it does not have adequate means. He recalled that to date Croatia has set aside more than US$1.6 billion for reconstruction and return of displaced persons and refugees, while the international community has assisted Croatia with about US$80 million.
